"Now you have Middlesbrough away on Wednesday and then the derby on Monday and Liverpool are going through a tricky spell. Jurgen Klopp may feel it will kill the lad's confidence, but at this moment he is killing the team on the pitch in terms of not getting the points.

"Liverpool should have another five points and so the big decision now for the manager is whether to bring Mignolet back, or does he stick with Karius? And right now, I would change to Mignolet."

Mignolet hasn’t started a game in the Premier League since Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Chelsea in September.

He has been Klopp’s first choice in the EFL Cup however, and has so far helped the Reds to the semi-finals of the competition.
